Textify is a new ministry hoping to tap into youth and their fascination with mobile phones.
The campaign was launched by Hope Revolution, a U.K. based youth ministry, and it encourages young people to text about their faith.
Textify urges young Christians to spend seven days praying for three friends and then text them each a question or 'God thought' as a conversation starter.
Phil Timson, the Youth Director for HOPE said: “We understand that it can be tough for young people to talk about what they believe and there is a real element of courage needed to do this.
"However, what better way is there to get out of our comfort zone, and build up confidence together, than getting on our mobiles for Jesus and using them to Textify.
“This will be the start of more than just a conversation. Our vision is to see every Christian young person in the UK taking bold steps forward to share their hope with others through the way they live, what they say and what they do.
"Together we can see lives changed and communities transformed and the next generation will lead the way! Let’s declare the Gospel and demonstrate God’s love like never before.”
After making a beginning through text messaging, youths are being encouraged to use Facebook and Twitter to follow up with their friends and inspire others to join in.
Mike Pilavachi, Leader of Soul Survivor and HOPE Board member said: “I love using my phone, so Textify is a no brainer. Sharing our faith in Jesus is about our words and actions. It’s about all of our lives, and that of course includes our phones, Facebook and Twitter accounts.”
